This section of the Bible makes me remember back to reading the book "The Red Tent". Have you read it? Its a book based on the family of Jacob told from the Women's point of view. A very good read. (or in my case, because audio books are something I invest in and enjoy... a good listen!) If any one would like the to listen to the audio version please let me know and I'll share my copy. And for you real readers out there, I am sure you can get it at the library or buy at your favorite bookstore if you are interested :-)
Blessings to All!

Study Schedule Week 4
Welcome to Week 4!
Since this makes a full month of reading, pat yourself on the back and know that you are doing a great job of making time in the Word a healthy habit :-)
(If anyone is doing the OYB readings, please let me know so those readings can be added to this page. As far as I'm aware no one is using them so decided to cut the confusion by just posting one option as this time. But, I am surely happy to put them back up if even one other person is using that schedule!)
A CHRONOLOGICAL BIBLE READING SCHEDULE
Week Four - January 22-28
Day 1Genesis 23:1-25:34 Genesis 23 records the death and burial of Sarah. At about this time, we
would also have the death of Job (Job 42:16,17). Genesis 24 is the story of
how Rebekah became Isaac's wife when he was 40, three years after Sarah
died (Genesis 25:20). In the next chapter, Abraham married again and had
six more sons. It was at this time that Shem died (Genesis 11:11).
Abraham's death, although recorded in Genesis 25:8, actually took place
when Jacob and Esau were 15 years old (see verses 24-28).
Genesis 26:1-27:46 Genesis 26:22 is the approximate time of the marriages of Esau (26:34,35),
and after Genesis 26:25 we have the time of Ishmael's death (25:17,18).
Day 2 Genesis 28:1-30:24;
36:1-43;
I Chronicles 1:35-54
Since Jacob and Esau were twins, their lives are parallel. These passages
show the beginnings of their families after they left home. The date is
sometime after 1836 BC.
Day 3 I Chronicles 2:1-3
Genesis 30:25-33:20
These events are in the life of Jacob as he grew more wealthy by God's will.
He then decided to begin the journey southward toward his former home.
Day 4 Genesis 34:1-35:15;
38:1-5
This section runs in order, but the following section is not chronological,
since Joseph's story begins to take over.
Genesis 35:16-19;
48:7;
35:20-27; 37:1-35
Read these verses in the order we have listed to get a more chronological
order.
Day 5 Genesis 37:36; 39:1-6;38:6-30;I Chronicles 2:4;Genesis 39:7-23;
40:1-23; 35:28,29
This reading shows that while Joseph was in Egypt, Judah committed
adultery, Isaac died, etc.
Day 6 Genesis 41:1-45:28 I
Chronicles 2:5-8
This reading is an orderly account of more of the events in Joseph's life.
Day 7 Genesis 46:1-47:26;
47:28-50:26
The book of Genesis concludes with the reunion of Joseph and his father and
the prophetic blessings for the 12 sons of Israel, including one for each of
